"Father, everything is fine here. Do we have to go back?"
Zhao Hao asked softly.
"Go back? What are you going back for?"
Ying Zheng asked with a half-smile. At the same time, he waved his hand.
Sima Xuan and others who were gathered around the deck immediately understood and left the deck.
Zhao Hao didn't care about why Sima Xuan and the others left now. When he heard that Ying Zheng didn't want to go back, he suddenly became nervous and said quickly: "Father, you dragged me here while I was eating, and I didn't even have a full meal. , and ran around all morning, talking so much;
Now is the time to grow taller. You don’t want me to be this short forever, right? "
Although Zhao Hao doesn't care when others tease him about his height, he still cares about his height in his heart. After all, who doesn't want to be tall, handsome and charming thousands of boys and girls?
Of course, besides this reason, he had other reasons.
That was the plan he had been laying out, and he needed to control the whole process. Otherwise, if there was a problem in one link, it would be easy to lose everything. Therefore, he had to rush back to the Yangjiao Mountain Camp to continue the layout.
However, Ying Zheng was very amused when he saw the anxious look on his face, but on the surface he said calmly: "I'm hungry. There's something on the boat. Zhao Gao, go get him something to eat! Come, let's go fishing with my father." Baby fish!"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and thought to himself that you are so perfect!
However, I don't have time to spend here with you.
"Father, you can fish anytime. After this period of time, I will accompany you to fish slowly, okay?"
Zhao Hao was never interested in fishing or anything like that. When he was studying in his previous life, he participated in a summer camp and there was a fishing competition. He tried every means but failed to catch a few fish. In the end, he was despised by a scumbag, which made him angry. , and never fished again.
Sometimes, fishing does not depend on how smart you are or how well you study, but on whether you have patience. At that time, his mind could not calm down at all and he always felt that he should not waste time on such boring things, so he When it comes to fishing, nothing comes of it.
Seeing that Zhao Hao wanted to go back again and again, Ying Zheng sighed and said, "You really don't know why I brought you here?"
I'm not a roundworm in your belly, how could I possibly know why you brought me here?
Zhao Hao complained in his heart and asked tentatively: "Didn't you tell me to give guidance to those generals of the building and ship?"
"That's just one reason."
Ying Zheng spoke calmly, then asked with a smile: "You really don't know?"
Zhao Hao was stunned and shook his head.
Ying Zheng sighed: "Well, since you don't know, my father will tell you!"
Before Zhao Hao could react, Ying Zheng slapped him on the forehead.
Zhao Hao was about to burst into tears. He covered his head with his hands and shouted in confusion, "Father, what are you doing? Beat me to death!"
"Kill you?"
Ying Zheng sneered and said, "Sometimes I really want to beat you to death. It's better if you die. At least you don't have to harm others!"
"I"
Seeing that Ying Zheng spoke so harshly, Zhao Hao thought that he had made some huge mistake. He ignored the pain in his head and honestly asked for advice: "Father, please give me a clear explanation."
Ying Zheng looked Zhao Hao up and down, sneered and said, "You are really brave, you dare to do anything!"
Is it related to yourself?
But I don’t seem to have done anything except
Zhao Hao reacted instantly, looked around, and saw that everyone around him had disappeared without knowing when, and even Zhao Gao had left. He couldn't help but whisper: "Is your father talking about the old general?"
"Did your kid do other things to seek death?" Ying Zheng said angrily.
Zhao Hao smiled coquettishly: "That's not true. I didn't want to hide the old general's matter from my father at the beginning. I just wanted to tell him after some time. Later, Xiou's sneak attack on our army's food and grass happened. , I feel that maybe we can take advantage of this opportunity to fulfill my father’s wish and unify the South China Sea;
To be honest, I was not optimistic about my father's conquest of the South China Sea at first because the situation in the South China Sea was not clear and we did not know much about the Baiyue people. Later, I went to the South China Sea in person and learned more about the Baiyue people from the old general. Only then did I realize that maybe we were going in the wrong direction from the beginning! "
After hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Hao in surprise, frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
“In order to fight against foreign aggression, we must first settle within.”
"Um?"
"Father, in fact, with the military strength of our Great Qin, it is still very stable against a group of barbarians, but we may have some small internal problems, which makes the unification situation not so clear."
Zhao Hao said meaningfully.
Originally, he thought that Wang Jian's matter could be hidden from the First Emperor's father, but it turned out that the First Emperor's intelligence system was so pervasive that he actually knew about Wang Jian's fake death in advance.
Now that the First Emperor's father knew about it, he simply expressed his concerns to prevent the First Emperor's father from making mistakes in cooperating with him in the future and letting others take advantage of the loopholes.
Seeing that Zhao Hao finally revealed his purpose, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, the expression on his face softened, and he frowned: "The internal problems you mentioned, could it be that someone has second thoughts about Da Qin and wants to use Nanhai Baiyue clan, seeking personal gain?”
"I have such concerns. After all, people are separated from each other. No one can really see a person's face. Only when he does it can we see clearly."
Zhao Hao still did not name Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo, because there are no problems with Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo now, including no evidence that Zhao Tuo secretly poisoned Wang Jian.
As for his collusion with the Translate Song Dynasty, only a few people knew about it. It was impossible for the Xiou people to come forward to prove that the Qin generals colluded with foreigners, right?
Therefore, the vague rhetoric only allowed the First Emperor to mentally prepare for this.
After all, Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao now have 50,000 elite Qin troops. If there is a sudden thunderstorm, something uncontrollable may happen.
Although the people of the old Qin Dynasty were loyal to the First Emperor, they were only limited to knowing the true situation. Once they did not know the situation and followed Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao came to the Qing emperor's side, it would be the end of the world.
Therefore, while the situation was still unclear, Zhao Hao did not dare to say too much about them.
Seemingly sensing Zhao Hao's concerns, Ying Zheng did not force Zhao Hao to tell the truth. He just smiled lightly, changed the subject, pointed at the artillery in front of him, and said softly: "Then this thing."
"Only if it's true."
"You boy"
"hey-hey."
Zhao Hao smiled and asked: "Father, you have practiced well with the fire blunderbuss. Are you interested in practicing something else?"
"What else?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
Zhao Hao casually took out a mini grenade and said with a smile, "How about this?"
"What's this?"
Ying Zheng was a little confused.
Zhao Hao didn't even explain, he just pulled the tab and saw smoke coming from the grenade, and quickly threw it into the sea.
There was a loud bang, and the sea was blown up into waves more than ten feet high. Tie Yingwei, Tang Sui, who was hiding in shock, and all the people serving Ying Zheng, including Zhao Gao, all appeared. On deck.
But seeing that the First Emperor and Zhao Hao were safe and sound, they retreated again.
"this"
Ying Zheng's eyes widened and he was stunned for a long time before he said in a daze: "What is this? It is no less powerful than the artillery just now."
"Back to my father, this is the latest grenade developed by the Academy of Sciences. It can defend yourself and destroy the enemy."
"Academy of Science? I didn't expect that the Academy of Science was really messed up by your kid."
"Does your father want it?"
Zhao Hao asked with a smile.
"want!"
Ying Zheng nodded decisively, his eyes bright, and then as if he remembered something, he pointed at the cannon and said with a smile: "I like this one too!"
"Well"
Zhao Hao twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that all men really like destructive weapons, and the First Emperor was no exception, so he said in a flattering manner: "Where can I get you a cannon mounted on a carriage? Then you can go back to Xianyang to play?" "
"Ah!"
With a sneer, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Hao seriously: "If you want to stay in Nanhai, you should wait until this matter is over and return to Xianyang."
"this"
Zhao Hao was speechless.
He understood what the First Emperor's father meant instantly.
After the Nanhai incident is resolved, his identity will be completely different. When he returns to Xianyang, no one will treat him as a white-bodied young man. In this way, his return to Xianyang will undoubtedly increase the risk.
Instead, it was a good thing for him to leave Xianyang for a while. You can completely avoid some struggles for power to avoid being affected.
After all, it is easy to hide from open guns, but difficult to guard against hidden arrows. The First Emperor's father, who is well versed in the struggle for power, cannot completely guarantee that he can suppress all undercurrents.
Therefore, the First Emperor's father asked him whether he wanted to stay in Nanhai or return to Xianyang.
Only when you really value a person will you give that person the right to choose. For someone who doesn't value him, he is just a chess piece. How can you let a chess piece make a choice?
"The coconut juice from the South China Sea is delicious, isn't it?"
Zhao Hao smiled and replied.
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth raised slightly and he waved his hand noncommittally.
Soon, Zhao Hao left the deck as he wished.
At the same time, the hinterland of Xiou Kingdom.
The generals who translated Yu Song and Jie Jun looked unhappy.
Although their plan succeeded, more than 4,000 Xiou soldiers were lost in this battle.
This was something they didn't expect.
"Then what is Zhao Tuo doing? He has obviously sent troops to my brother's side, so why did he send people to protect the grain and grass camp again? Is he deliberately consuming us?"
Translator Song said angrily.
The generals looked at each other and murmured for a while. Jie Jun frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty died in battle. The country cannot be without a king for a day. The most urgent task is to support a new king and stabilize the overall situation. I propose that the generals Young Master Zou An will serve as the king of Xiou Kingdom!"
"this"
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but look at each other.
At this time, an elder who followed Yi Xusong and fled back said: "This is not appropriate. If it were normal times, there would be nothing wrong with supporting the eldest son Zou An as the king. But now it is wartime. How can he convince the public by supporting him?" Should we let him lead us against the Qin army?"
Although this elder does not have much power among the Xiou elders, his seniority is higher than any other elder.
He is the youngest son of the previous king of Xiou, and the brother-in-law of Zou Che.
As soon as he finished speaking, a general second only to Jie Jun echoed: "Yes, Elder Fuman is right. The most important thing now is to choose a monarch who can lead us through the difficulties. Zou Although Mr. An is older, his talents are limited and he is not suitable for the position of king. In my opinion, we should choose another prince!"
"Yes, Mr. Zou An likes slave boys, and we won't hesitate to do so. Will he rely on that slave boy to continue his descendants in the future?"
"Hahaha--!"
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
They don't seem to want to leave the future in the hands of a young man with mediocre abilities and eccentric hobbies.
However, Jie Jun then asked the question: "Your Majesty only has three sons. Apart from Zou An, there are only Yi Xusong and Ji Yang. Ji Yang is still young and not qualified to be the king. If Mr. Zou An cannot ascend the throne."
Having said this, he paused, then turned his gaze to Yi Xu Song, and said solemnly: "Then we can only support Mr. Yi Xu Song!"
After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Yi Yusong at the same time.
Translation: Song Dynasty was brave and courageous, loved his people, and had many dealings with the Qin army. It would be best if he could be the king of Xiou.
"Elders and generals, my abilities are limited. How can I shoulder this important task? I'd better hire someone else!"
Although Xu Song had long coveted the position of king of Xiou Kingdom, he remembered that there was a tradition in the Central Plains. Generally, when ministers support a monarch who is not the successor, the monarch must be a little polite and decline first before taking over.
Sure enough, when everyone saw that Yi Yusong had declined to take over as king, their expressions immediately became serious, and their impressions of Yi Yusong increased.
But Fu Yi said displeasedly: "What did the Third Young Master say?! Zou An is not suitable to inherit the position of king. Everyone knows that if you don't inherit the position of king, are you going to hand over the position of king to Ji Yang? Are you really Do you believe that Ji Yang can lead Xiou out of this predicament? Are you worthy of your ancestors and the people?"
Translator Song was speechless, and everyone looked at each other.
The next moment, the general second only to Jie Jun said: "How about this? Zou An is leading five thousand soldiers to ambush Wang Jian. He must have succeeded. How about we wait for him to come back and then jointly decide on the candidate for the king?" "
"no!"
Jie Jun's expression changed and he refused directly.
Everyone was stunned.
Translator Song frowned.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
But seeing Jie Jun, he calmed down and said again: "Have you forgotten the gap between the eldest son and the third son? If the eldest son is allowed to bring troops back to discuss the position of king, will he agree to let the third son inherit the position of king? "
"this"
Everyone was speechless.
Fu Yi responded: "Yes, if Zou An comes back to discuss, he will definitely not agree to let the third son take over. Then, there is a high possibility of rebellion in Xiou."
When they heard that there would be a rebellion in Xiou, everyone looked surprised and couldn't help but start to worry.
Today's Xiou is already on the verge of national subjugation. If there is another rebellion, I am afraid that Xiou will be destroyed by itself without waiting for the Qin army to arrive.
Thinking of this, everyone turned their attention to Jie Jun again.
"General Jie Jun, if you have any ideas, you might as well say so!"
"Yes, General Jie Jun, as long as the cavalry in your hands is well preserved, we will listen to you!"
"General Jie Jun."
"Don't worry, everyone, just listen to me!"
Seeing everyone seeking their own ideas, Jie Jun raised his hand to signal to them and said seriously;
"I think the one you really want to support is the Third Young Master. In my opinion, we might as well meet with the eldest Young Master Zou An first, and then tell him your last words and see his reaction. If he is not convinced, we can make plans again. how?"
"Your Majesty's last words?"
"Yes! Before your death, your Majesty passed the throne to your third son, Yi Yusong!"
"this"
Everyone's eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
At this moment, a report suddenly came from outside the door: "General, the eldest son has sent someone to report to the king that they have successfully ambushed Wang Jian and requested to ambush Wang Jian's men!"
Jie Jun narrowed his eyes: "Your Majesty only ordered the eldest son to ambush Wang Jian, why did he ambush Wang Jian's men?"
"It seems that Wang Jian's men massacred several of our villages."
"What!?"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly stood up from their seats.
